Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by reason of its overall scale, massing, siting and
form, would be an unsympathetic, incongruous and dominant addition which
would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the host
building and host semi-detached pair, and the character, appearance and
significance of the streetscene and surrounding Sutherland Grove Conservation
Area. The proposal fails to comply with paragraph 212 of the NPPF (2024),
section 72 (1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act
1990, policies HC1 (C) and D6 of the London Plan (2021), local policies LP1,
LP3 and LP5 of the Local Plan (2023), the SPD 'Housing' (2016) and the
Sutherland Grove Conservation Area Appraisal.
2
The proposed development, by reason of its overall scale, massing, siting and
form, would be an unneighbourly form of development, resulting in an
overbearing and visually intrusive impact in the neighbouring occupiers. The
proposal fails to comply with local policy LP2 of the Local Plan (2023).
In dealing with this application the Council has implemented the requirement in
the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive
and proactive manner and the Council has, as far as practicable, sought
solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the planning application.
We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in
the Local Plan consisting of the Core Strategy, Development Management
Policies Document, Supplementary Planning documents and where appropriate
the Site Specific Allocations Document as well as offering a full pre application
advice service, in order to ensure that the applicant has been given every
opportunity to submit an application which is likely to be considered favourably.
In addition further guidance was offered to the applicant by the case officer
during the processing of the application to identify amendments to address
those elements of the scheme considered unacceptable. However, the
necessary amendments to make the application acceptable are substantial and
would materially change the development proposal. They would require further
consultations to be undertaken prior to determination, which could not take
place within the statutory determination period specified by the Department of
Communities and Local Government. You are therefore encouraged to consider
submission of a fresh application incorporating the material amendments set out
below which are necessary to make the scheme acceptable.
Required amendments:
To remove the first floor rear extension from the proposal.
